Groundhog Day

Frigid temperatures, possibly snowy ground and like the 1993 Bill Murray movie the feeling of repeating yourself over and over await at western Michigan’s Groundhog Marathon and Half Marathon, which makes its annual run this February.The race takes runners through Millennium Park, which lies a short drive from downtown Grand Rapids and, when completed, will feature 20 miles of trails and reclaim some 1,500 once heavily used land for public recreation, which will one day make it about twice the size of New York City’s Central Park.The course will give you the opportunity to relive the same day several times. A total of 6 loops of approximately 4.4 miles on a CERTIFIED course (Yes! You can qualify for Boston!) will have you feeling just a little case of deja vu.
